Summer Picnic: Relax Card with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!   It's another tuesday and I am here to show you another card! This week we are featuring the cute set Summer Picnic.

This set is so versatile! It has all the yummy food in it but also this beautiful tree I knew I wanted to use for this card.  And the cute little apple is just the little extra a card needs. I love that Mendi adds those smiley faces to a lot of her sets. That's so cute and I was able to make my apple smile!

As always I started by stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the tree and the apple from the set. To create a "stage" for the tree I cut a banner from white cardstock, To make it a little bit more interesting I used the Fishtail Banners dies. They are so great, don't you think? And the scalloped one is my favorite.

I added some ink blending in green for the grass and in turquoise for the sky!

I adhered the banner to my card base and finished the card with some faux stitching.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.

Anni
